Hi,

Hope someone can help?

I have a blank movie clip on the stage with drag and drop capabilities and it works fine!!

That is, until i call the loadmovie() function and attach an image into the empty movie clip.

Anyone know why the movie clip is no longer draggable when content is loaded into it?

```auto

function downloadImage(file:Object):Void {
  var Pic = "./files/" + file;
  loadMovie(Pic, "_root.imageLoader");
}

```

```auto

this.imageLoader.onPress = function(){
  imageLoader.startDrag("");
  this.swapDepths(this.getNextHighestDepth());
  }
  this.imageLoader.onRelease = function(){
  imageLoader.stopDrag();
  }

```
